Beyond the Local Church

Evangelism & Missions

“Beyond the Local Church challenges the too common (but ultimately illegitimate) division between church and parachurch ministries. Sam Metcalf asks questions and explores categories that are helpful and thought provoking, regardless of whether someone ends up agreeing. This book is a necessary addition to the many conversations being had about how Christ's church should function from the margins of Western culture.”

Confucius for Christians

World Religions

“Gregg Ten Elshof here creatively explores the connections between the ancient Jewish worldview of Jesus and the wisdom teaching of Confucius. What results from this exploration is a greater understanding of the Way of Jesus — a way of seeing and being in the world that calls into question many of our modern assumptions about human life. A thoughtful resource for all those wondering how to live faithfully for Christ today.”

Gray Matters

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In Gray Matters, Brett McCracken does something quite refreshing—he serves as a wise and discerning guide to the consuming of culture. Many books condemn ‘secular’ culture, just as many books advocate (consciously or unconsciously) accommodating ourselves to culture. Brett has written something much different: a biblically informed and culturally savvy approach to consuming culture in a God-honoring, community-building, and mission-advancing way. Not everyone will agree with Brett’s method or his conclusions, but that is part of his point. Central to modern discipleship to Jesus is wrestling through ‘gray matters’—those areas where there is room to think, pray, study, and consume—in the ways we eat, drink, listen, and watch. Brett seeks to redeem our consumption in surprising and helpful ways.”

Loveology

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Loveology is a compassionate and courageous manifesto for the most sexually confused generation in human history. With grace and truth, John Mark shows how the revolutionary good news of Jesus intersects with our sexuality and relationships. Highly recommended.”

People to Be Loved

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“With honesty, empathy and all-too-uncommon grace, Preston Sprinkle contributes brilliantly to the ongoing conversation our culture is having regarding Christianity and sexuality. Preston has done a rare thing: addressing controversial issues and dealing with perplexing questions in a way that is fair and gracious to all participants. This is a refreshing and immensely helpful book in navigating the deep waters of sexual ethics. I highly recommend it!”

Strange Religion

World Religions

“Simply an outstanding book. Nijay paints vivid pictures of life in the ancient Roman world and identifies the beliefs and practices that made the earliest Christians stand out in contrast. It left me considering how the church today might recapture some of the weirdness and beauty that made such a mark on the ancient world. If you’ve ever wondered how a tiny Jewish sect, worshiping a crucified Messiah, could ever turn the Roman Empire upside down, then this book is for you.”

The Lucky Few

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“The Lucky Few is a beautiful and compelling story about the transformation of fear into hope. As you read about the Avis’s journey, you’ll be inspired to imitate their courageous surrender to the life-changing invitation of Jesus.”

Winsome Persuasion

Apologetics

“Winsome Persuasion could not be a more timely book! In our increasingly hostile and fractured world, followers of Jesus are needed who embrace their role as peacemakers and ministers of reconciliation. But how? Muehlhoff and Langer are incredibly helpful in that regard. This book shows us what cultural engagement can look like; wise, honest, compassionate, and helpful discourse is more important now than ever. Weaving together strands of multiple disciplines, Winsome Persuasion is a rare book that more than delivers on its title. Highly, highly recommended.”
